Pedro Rodriguez will be checked after suffering a hamstring related problem at Vicarage Road.

Maurizio Sarri decided to name the same XI on Boxing Day, but it wasn’t long before Chelsea were forced into a change after Pedro sustained a muscular injury following a lung bursting run. The Spaniard sprinted on the counter attack, releasing Eden Hazard just before the interval, but pulled up afterwards, pointing to the back of his left thigh. "We don't know how much he is injured, we will evaluate tomorrow," Sarri said post-match. The night began so well for his replacement, Callum Hudson-Odoi, the 18-year-old was making his first Premier League appearance of the season, but the youngster succumbed to his own muscular issue towards the end of the game. "He played for 55 minutes very well. He had a little injury with his hamstring one week ago and ten minutes to go he had pain in the same point." With such a quick turnaround between matches it seems unlikely that Sarri will risk either player at Palace this weekend. Thu, Dec 27, 2018 06:57:00 AM

A goal by Pedro in the fourth minute would be enough as Chelsea got back to their winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Fulham.

It was the perfect start to the west London derby for Chelsea, the latest to put a suspect Fulham defense to the test. Inside of four minutes, Ngolo Kante intercepted a pass in midfield then made his way toward the area before finding Pedro on the right who slotted home. The Blues would dominate possession all afternoon, with Marcos Alonso given plenty of space to put balls in to the box but connections could not be made as the game started to stall out in the middle third. Some substitutions would make the difference though, particularly Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who would put the game to bed on 82 minutes finishing a series of quick passes orchestrated by Eden Hazard. Loftus-Cheek is now doing everything he can to crack the XI, scoring for the fifth time in his last six appearances across all competitions. Sun, Dec 2, 2018 08:51:00 AM

Maurizio Sarri will leave a decision on Pedro’s involvement until the last-minute after he was helped off on Thursday night following an awkward fall deep into time added-on.

Chelsea will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season against London-rivals West Ham at the Olympic Stadium, but they may have to do it without the Spanish winger despite an encouraging post-match update from the Blues boss. "The problem is [his] shoulder, but I don't know exactly the situation," he said following the 1-0 win over POAK. "The doctor told me that probably it's not a very serious injury." Mateo Kovacic should be available despite limping off with a dead leg in the win over Cardiff City while Cesc Fabregas [knee] and Ruben Loftus-Cheek [shin] were included in the Europa League matchday squad. Davide Zappacosta is over his recent bout of illness and completed 90 minutes in Greece, but team-mate Emerson, who is suffering from a sore throat is considered a doubt.

Chelsea officially announced a new contract extension for winger Pedro to keep him at the club through the 2020 season.

The Spaniard's future was up in the air after his lowest output of his career last season, only four goals and two assists in just over 1,500 minutes. But the 31-year-old has featured extensively for new manager Maurizio Sarri in the preseason amid worries over the future of other key players, including Willian, Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois. Said Pedro: It is very good for me, I am really happy here in the club, with my team-mates, the supporters and the club in general. It’s important for me to continue with Chelsea, I am comfortable here and want to win new titles and trophies. I want to help the team, score goals, and I repeat, I am really happy.
